Budget Branding Irons on Modern Builds!

Mike was using the most popular method of getting his branding Iron hot with a regular Plumber’s torch. Perfect temperature to brand wood is about 270 degrees C or 518 Fahrenheit. You can also use different way’s to get to a branding temperature which will be discussed in future Blog post’s. 

Getting a perfect brand has 3 main components. Heat, time and pressure. If you get all of these right your burn mark will look like an ink stamp, crisp and clear. Another thing to keep in mind is to have a straight surface. Mike’s build was made from a number of 4’s attached beside each other. An uneven surface can be the result for an uneven brand. 

That being said, Mike left a beaitiful mark, taking into consideration that it’s his first time using a branding iron. Make sure to subscribe to his youtube channel more amazing video’s!
